Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry.

o ic, so ur saying that the problem might lay within the kernel not being able to work with boards with that chopset, ya?

Yes.. and possibly also with other recent SATA chipsets.

ahhhhhhhhhh, makes a bit more sense now. so if that is the only problem, we can only hope for an update in knoppix v 5.0.2 or the next version. no real fixing it now huh.

it's with the non-standard need drivers to run even in windows
sata/pata stuff

and notebook interfaces which get interpreted as some sort of scsi where the
noscsi option or was it
something atapi
helped

Well, knoppix have the same problem as other Linux distros!

On other d-lists I find a L-expert saying the problem isn't the 965 chipset (which controls SATA drives, the next drivetechno default). Intel is discontinuing PATA/IDE own solutions and then, problem: the IDE chipsets included in the mobos --Marvell in Intel boards or JMicron in Asus / Gigabyte...-- are unsupported by the kernel versions older than 2.6.18, itself included.
At kernel.linux foruns there are several messages, people searching patch solutions. Recently (28dec) on a suse d-l somebody said kernel 2.6.19 or newer are OK.

A Strange Note repeated: On my Intel DG965WD + Core2Duo 6400 --all 64 bits' tech-- the unique distro I arrrived to partially setup: FC6... 32 bits version, whit a Kl 2.6.16 ! (that, using the comand "all-generic-ide noirqpoll" on the installation boot line, as said by others here.)

I have the same main board and had the same problems with all versions of Knoppix and Ubuntu Edgy.

OpenSuse 10.2 worked without any problems though, and recent versions of the Ubuntu development version (Feisty Fawn) also do work.

Hello

I'm experimenting on a Windows Server 2003 with DQ965GF motherboard. Just wanted to let you guys know I'm experiencing the same difficulties and the problem to me seems Floppy Emulation

I have tried:

Bart PE > works: uses no floppy emulation
Knoppix > doesn't (the error you guys got; does knoppix use floppy emuation to boot from?)
My own bootable cd which uses floppy emulation > hangs before it starts; worked on my laptop
USB stick > hangs > uses floppy emulation
All kinds of dos disks > works, but mostly doesn't find my cd-writer.

The main thing I'm trying to do is to get my Iomega REV drive to work under some kind of DOS so I can make an offline ghost backup of my disk. After trying several floppy's made by Iomega software that didn't work (driver issue or something) we found out a supplied CD was bootable:

On my pc: hangs
On another pc: works! > and it uses floppy emulation again!

So if you could confirm Knoppix uses floppy emulation we can be quite sure there's something up with the DQ965GF floppy emulation support...
